PackUpAndGo™ wraps an easy-to-use, drag and drop GUI around standard Unix archiving and compression utilities.
PackUpAndGo creates archives in a standard format that can be opened on any platform. Because PackUpAndGo uses standard, cross-platform tools, it does not handle old Mac OS resource forks. However, most documents created under Mac OS X, particularly those created by Cocoa-based applications, can be safely archived by PackUpAndGo.
The advantage of using PackUpAndGo is its use of non-proprietary standard formats.
